PlayStation VR’s price has been temporarily slashed in the UK, with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR and Gran Turismo Sport bundles available for £249.99 for a limited time. Both sets come with a headset, a PlayStation Camera, and a copy of PlayStation VR Worlds. This is an absolute bargain bin price point, representing a whopping £100 saving over the recommended retail price.
The offer’s set to run until 27th November, while stocks last of course. It’s perhaps worth mentioning that the bundles do include the launch model headset, so you may want to wait for the new revision to enter the retail channel if you need the Processor Unit with HDR passthrough. If you can live without that feature, though, we’d recommend jumping on this right now – it’s an amazing offer.
Should you buy Skyrim VR or Gran Turismo Sport?
Obviously it’s going to depend on tastes, but based on our hands on impressions thus far, we’d recommend you go with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR. While there’s fun to be had with Gran Turismo Sport in virtual reality, the game is extremely limited when you’re wearing the headset, so you’re not actually going to get much value out of that feature until Polyphony Digital (inevitably) updates the functionality.
Skyrim VR, meanwhile, is the biggest you’ll find on PlayStation VR by a country mile – it includes the entire original campaign and all of its expansion packs, so you’re looking at a 150 hour adventure here. It also translates to virtual reality incredibly well, augmenting Bethesda’s ginormous open world with an all-new sense of scale.

That's an insanely good deal
Please come to Australia!!!!!
Competitive pricing is the only way PSVR is going to find wider adoption.
Great deal. Just what VR needed. Great boost. And seems like Sony are serious about selling and promoting VR.
Need HDR
I've got a PS4 Pro and a 4K/HDR TV but I'm one of those gamers who has never tried VR. I watched your recent Skyrim VR videos and whilst it's good to know that all sorts of control options are available it's impossible to show me the big immersion factor.
But at this price I guess I might take a leap of faith. And it's my birthday next week so I'm hoping that'll cover the cost
Wow that's a deal and a half!
@FantasyMeister Happy early birthday. Go on treat yourself!
Finally took the plunge. VR with Skyrim and GT Sport for £270 to good not to take up
Seems like a fantastic deal. I just don't know if I should just get it or wait to see if shopto or GAME will have a better deal. I just hope they don't run out of stock while I wait (possibly for nothing). Mom's spaghetti.
That’s an incredible deal & it’s payday today...
@naruball Shopto have the same deal you can get VR with GT or Skyrim for £249.99
@bindiana I see. Thanks!
@FantasyMeister Happy birthday for next week 🍰....hope you don’t get too motion sick, preferably zero, and enjoy your VR, it’s awesome imo!👍
@FantasyMeister Happy birthday. It really is impossible to communicate what VR is like until you try it. It’s definitely quite amazing though.
And so I took the plunge.
I just need cheap wands!
@finalstan Nice! Enjoy!
Wow is already number 1 on Amazon best sellers. Also has now gone up to £309...
@get2sammyb Exactly the reason I'm keeping away from PSVR. I know once I've tried it I'll want one! Want to keep living in ignorance at least for a little bit longer!
Plunge taken. £300 on Very website for same deal with Skyrim and 2 move controllers- plus buy now pay 12 months later.
@get2sammyb @Mergatro1d I have actually cancelled my Amazon order and went with Tesco's, which is exactly the same as Very but without a credit account, which I have no need for. So I got my wands in the end
It sold out on Amazon.
@finalstan Cool, enjoy! Wish I had no need for a credit account...
@fuzzy833 r one of these and you are good to go where HDR is concerned.
HUIERAV HDMI 2.0 Ultra HD 4Kx2K/60Hz HDMI Switch| HDMI 2 Ports Bi-direction Manual Switch 2x1 or 1x2 AB Switch Splitter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06VVM9312/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CgweAbR1GE348
This deal is also available in Argos. Just be sure to click additional deals otherwise it doesn't add the free game in.
@Toe-knee ah good to know, thanks!
@fuzzy833 the only downside is it uses 2 hdmi inputs on your TV.
